    We had the pre-marriage crowd as tenants in our building, using the basement as an office.

    Never met a more horrible bunch. Ice queens, the lot of them. They were horrible to deal with from a landlord perspective... A few of my mates had to do the course with them and said they were extremely judgemental and lecturing.

    It's like a lot of things I'm sure. Some are dicks and some aren't. Some of the courses are 2 days and some are just the 1. I've no doubt that there are zealots running some of the courses but not all of them.

    Speaking of pre-marriage courses, in South Korea, there are post-marriage courses where you learn about the bold thing.

    There's a theme park that is for couples to go and enjoy together with demonstrations etc

    LoveLand I believe it's called.

    VICE channel on youtube, though thoroughly NSFW is an excellent way to find out about how the other side of the world works btw...

    South Koreans are brilliant.

    This wasn't the Warren Gatland Marriage Bureau, per chance, was it?

    My sister made a Rugby cake for a friend, ran out of time so not what she wanted it to look like, but I think it's pretty impressive.

    That's brilliant, fair play to her

    Forgone conclusion lads, Dubs are running scared already, #ciarraiabú

    Hope your team is as cocky, they'll be in for a rude awakening! Care to back up your bold words with a little wager?? If the Dubs win you change your profile pic to Diarmuid Connolly for a week... ;)

    What's that? Oh you're inviting over 15 mothers and their kids for a pizza and wine evening tonight. No there's nothing I'd be doing tonight or watching on the tele.

    I suppose the 15 women are probably better looking than the 15 English players...

    15 husbands managed to shoo their missus and kids out the door and you've got stuck with the short straw?

    Divorce takes too long in Ireland. A trial separation of 7 weeks should be enough.

    Let the wives in, I say. Add in some wine and chances of leg over are good.

    Re: The over the top "GIVE ME A ****ING TIP OR ELSE" ****e in bars/restaurants in Canad:

    Last day of the holiday, mates da had paid for literally everything, so I said I'd pick up the tab for our last session.
    First waitress just couldn't **** off. "OMFG YOU'RE IRISH, TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT". When we wouldn't play ball, she switched off our table with a girl who'd only been there 2 weeks. "Just bring us drink and everything will be rosey".

    Tipped her $80 and when she nearly fell over, I told her to just tell the prick we'd had in the first place how much she'd been tipped.

    ARG.

    Im the same way. I dont want the waiter/waitress to pretend to give a shít about me or want to hear my life story. I had one such encounter with a waiter in Chicago a few years ago who kept coming over, gave me a nickname ("stripes" because i was wearing a stripey shirt, genius), trying every trick in the book to make me think he was my best friend all the while taking forever with the drinks. Wasnt too happy with my tip either the cheeky fecker.

    What I hate most of all though is when I pay with card and the machine asks if I want to leave a tip. Because if you were unhappy with your server for any reason you have to sit there and press a big red "NO" button while they watch you.

    I never pay a tip by card if I can help it. Too easy for the owners to skim off some of the money.

    He may find the next few weeks hard to endure :D

    My OH made it to about 60 mins. The rugby itself didn't bother her it was my jumping and shouting for Fiji that she struggled with. I'm normally pretty calm and non excitable but when I watch rugby I'm a different person
